Capnograms in pediatrics

Capnograms in infants and children can have the following format under normal circumstances due to faster respiratory rates, smaller tidal volumes, and relatively longer response time of capnographs (dispersion of gases in side-stream capnographs). Baseline can be elevated, with a prolongation of phase II, increase in the slope of phase III and prolongation of descending limb. Occasionally the alveolar plateau may be short- sine wave capnograms).
